Even after Croire helps, while they do still seem to be on good terms there's no indication Arfoire's officially hired them to work for her at this new legitimate company.

A villainous mouse with a crush on Compa. Across his various incarnations he has worked as a member of [=ASIC=], the Seven Sages, and [=AffimaX=] among other unaffiliated appearances.
!!General Tropes
* DitchingTheDubNames: The NIS America releases of ''mk2'' and ''Victory'' dubbed him "Pirachu". When Idea Factory International brought the rights to localize the games, he was reverted back into his Japanese name Warechu.
* DubNameChange: He's Warechu in Japan, but was renamed Pirachu by NIS America. However, when the series changed hands in the West, [[DitchingTheDubNames his Japanese name was restored]], with the exception of ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart'' due to when the English version released.
* {{Mascot}}: Claims to be one [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse of]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} three]] in the mouse world.
* PunnyName: Both his Japanese and English names are references to software piracy. While the English name makes it kind of obvious ('''Pira'''chu), his Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese term for a software pirate (割れ厨, also pronounced ''warechu''), and can also evoke the term [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/warez warez]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He is rather adorable, and his crush on Compa merely adds to it.
* VerbalTic: "Chu" in the Japanese version, as the sound of mice.
* VillainousCrush: Has a crush on Compa after she heals him.
* WickedHeartSymbol: One of the villains, and has a half-red/half-yellow heart on his chest, along with an upside-down cracked heart at the end of his tail.
!!Hyperdimension Warechu
* BrickJoke: "Omega Warechu" is a monster that has previously only appeared in the credits of every main series Neptunia game. It actually shows up in ''VII''.
* DemotedToExtra: Unlike in previous games where he is always with Arfoire, he's now become a resident crook of Planeptune in Neptune's Hyperdimension G story arc.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He might be Planeptune's resident crook, [[spoiler:but when Kurome offers to help him, he refuses to work with her because he can sense her bad vibes. Unfortunately, Kurome brainwashes him anyway, turning him into a mindless monster.]]

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Temporarily ends up completely massive [[ComesGreatInsanity and completely insane]], courtesy of the Deity of Sin in ''mk2'' and [[spoiler:Kurome]] in ''VII''.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Forms one with Linda.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:He takes some of Kurome's Negative Energy that was aimed at Chuuko, turning him into a monster.]]
* TrueCompanions: Even after Underling's begun to [[RevengeBeforeReason go off the deep end]] toward the end, and even after [=ASIC=] is ended, he tries to be the voice of reason for her and sticks with her even when she just won't listen.
* VillainousBSOD: In the Hyperdimension G arc, he's utterly devastated when Compa declares that she hates him for setting monsters loose in Planeptune just to distract Neptune and her friends.
!!Ultradimension Warechu
* BrickJoke: Several chapters, and a bit over 10 years, after the Seven Sages have gotten to show off their [[BossSubtitles special logos]], he finally gets to do his hoping that maybe the [=CPUs=] would show him some mercy because of it. [[ThrowTheDogABone They actually were willing to do so]], [[YankTheDogsChain except for Iris Heart]].
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:In the true end he works for Arfoire on her eggplant farm.]]
* TheChewToy: Iris Heart debuts dragging him by the tail after roughing him up offscreen. Yellow Heart also enjoys tearing out his fur.
* CornerOfWoe: A variation at the end of chapter 2, when he tries and fails to announce his name and get his own {{Boss Subtitle|s}} to appear. The game has him standing in the corner of the screen, sadly looking down to the ground while the CPU's, at that moment still recovering from [[LargeHam Copypaste's]] [[NoIndoorVoice introduction]], eventually note he looks depressed.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He will jump at the chance to work for the [=CPUs=] if Iris Heart is making the request in order to avoid her wrath, but always goes back to the Seven Sages once he gets away from her. Once Compa grows up he settles for working with the [=CPUs=] to stay near her.
* FragileSpeedster: Unless you've gone out of your way to over level or gear specifically for accuracy, expect most of your attacks to never connect. Those that do, however, bring him down quite quickly compared to most bosses.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Warechu became a member of the Seven Sages almost without noticing.
%%* GenreSavvy
* InsistentTerminology: Not [[FantasticSlurs Rat]], not Mouse, ''Warechu''. No one listens.
* IWarnedYou: [[spoiler: He tried to get Mister Badd to hurry up and just make his announcement so that he (Warechu) could go home because he knew and said as much that the [=CPUs=] would find some way to escape and come after them. While Mister Badd is trying to tell him that it's just impossible, Plutia shows up midsentence.]]
--> '''Warechu''': "Sonofabitch! I -knew- it!"
* KillerRabbit: Averted. Warechu's combat abilities aren't that great. He can deal out surprisingly high damage and can be somewhat hard to hit if the team's accuracy is low, but compared to the other Seven Sages he goes down quick.
* TheNicknamer: At least to the females in the Seven Sages. Warechu calls Rei "Mature woman" and Arfoire "Middle-aged lady". The latter...isn't amused.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he was just part of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad in ''mk2'', his Ultradimension version is part of the [[BigBadDuumvirate Seven Sages.]]
%%* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Compared to the other Seven Sages.

!Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime
-->'''Debut''': VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2
A villainous mouse with a crush on Compa. Across his various incarnations he has worked as a member of [=ASIC=], the Seven Sages, and [=AffimaX=] among other unaffiliated appearances.
!!General Tropes
* DitchingTheDubNames: The NIS America releases of ''mk2'' and ''Victory'' dubbed him "Pirachu". When Idea Factory International brought the rights to localize the games, he was reverted back into his Japanese name Warechu.
* DubNameChange: He's Warechu in Japan, but was renamed Pirachu by NIS America. However, when the series changed hands in the West, [[DitchingTheDubNames his Japanese name was restored]], with the exception of ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart'' due to when the English version released.
* {{Mascot}}: Claims to be one [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse of]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} three]] in the mouse world.
* PunnyName: Both his Japanese and English names are references to software piracy. While the English name makes it kind of obvious ('''Pira'''chu), his Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese term for a software pirate (割れ厨, also pronounced ''warechu''), and can also evoke the term [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/warez warez]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He is rather adorable, and his crush on Compa merely adds to it.
* VerbalTic: "Chu" in the Japanese version, as the sound of mice.
* VillainousCrush: Has a crush on Compa after she heals him.
* WickedHeartSymbol: One of the villains, and has a half-red/half-yellow heart on his chest, along with an upside-down cracked heart at the end of his tail.
!!Hyperdimension Warechu
* BrickJoke: "Omega Warechu" is a monster that has previously only appeared in the credits of every main series Neptunia game. It actually shows up in ''VII''.
* DemotedToExtra: Unlike in previous games where he is always with Arfoire, he's now become a resident crook of Planeptune in Neptune's Hyperdimension G story arc.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He might be Planeptune's resident crook, [[spoiler:but when Kurome offers to help him, he refuses to work with her because he can sense her bad vibes. Unfortunately, Kurome brainwashes him anyway, turning him into a mindless monster.]]
-->'''Warechu:''' [[spoiler:I've been in the game long enough to know that ''you're'' bad news, chu.]]
* KickTheDog: A {{downplayed}} variation. He attacks a kid who accidentally bumped into him. [[DisproportionateRetribution This earns him a beating from B-Sha soon afterwards]].
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Temporarily ends up completely massive [[ComesGreatInsanity and completely insane]], courtesy of the Deity of Sin in ''mk2'' and [[spoiler:Kurome]] in ''VII''.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Forms one with Linda.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:He takes some of Kurome's Negative Energy that was aimed at Chuuko, turning him into a monster.]]
* TrueCompanions: Even after Underling's begun to [[RevengeBeforeReason go off the deep end]] toward the end, and even after [=ASIC=] is ended, he tries to be the voice of reason for her and sticks with her even when she just won't listen.
* VillainousBSOD: In the Hyperdimension G arc, he's utterly devastated when Compa declares that she hates him for setting monsters loose in Planeptune just to distract Neptune and her friends.
!!Ultradimension Warechu
* BrickJoke: Several chapters, and a bit over 10 years, after the Seven Sages have gotten to show off their [[BossSubtitles special logos]], he finally gets to do his hoping that maybe the [=CPUs=] would show him some mercy because of it. [[ThrowTheDogABone They actually were willing to do so]], [[YankTheDogsChain except for Iris Heart]].
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:In the true end he works for Arfoire on her eggplant farm.]]
* TheChewToy: Iris Heart debuts dragging him by the tail after roughing him up offscreen. Yellow Heart also enjoys tearing out his fur.
* CornerOfWoe: A variation at the end of chapter 2, when he tries and fails to announce his name and get his own {{Boss Subtitle|s}} to appear. The game has him standing in the corner of the screen, sadly looking down to the ground while the CPU's, at that moment still recovering from [[LargeHam Copypaste's]] [[NoIndoorVoice introduction]], eventually note he looks depressed.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He will jump at the chance to work for the [=CPUs=] if Iris Heart is making the request in order to avoid her wrath, but always goes back to the Seven Sages once he gets away from her. Once Compa grows up he settles for working with the [=CPUs=] to stay near her.
* FragileSpeedster: Unless you've gone out of your way to over level or gear specifically for accuracy, expect most of your attacks to never connect. Those that do, however, bring him down quite quickly compared to most bosses.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Warechu became a member of the Seven Sages almost without noticing.
%%* GenreSavvy
* InsistentTerminology: Not [[FantasticSlurs Rat]], not Mouse, ''Warechu''. No one listens.
* IWarnedYou: [[spoiler: He tried to get Mister Badd to hurry up and just make his announcement so that he (Warechu) could go home because he knew and said as much that the [=CPUs=] would find some way to escape and come after them. While Mister Badd is trying to tell him that it's just impossible, Plutia shows up midsentence.]]
--> '''Warechu''': "Sonofabitch! I -knew- it!"
* KillerRabbit: Averted. Warechu's combat abilities aren't that great. He can deal out surprisingly high damage and can be somewhat hard to hit if the team's accuracy is low, but compared to the other Seven Sages he goes down quick.
* TheNicknamer: At least to the females in the Seven Sages. Warechu calls Rei "Mature woman" and Arfoire "Middle-aged lady". The latter...isn't amused.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he was just part of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad in ''mk2'', his Ultradimension version is part of the [[BigBadDuumvirate Seven Sages.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Whether either will admit it or not, Warechu and Arfoire actually share this dynamic, and despite their bickering, really are friends, with Warechu actually willing to stand up to the [=CPUs=] to let Arfoire flee from Plutia. Even the [=CPUs=] were touched by this.
* YouShallNotPass: When Arfoire is trembling uncontrollably in fear of Plutia, Warechu urges her to escape while he holds back the [=CPUs=]. They're so moved that he was hoping that be able to avoid a fight. Too bad for him that [[GoodIsNotSoft Iris Heart]] isn't that compassionate...

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In ''Cyberdimension''. Since there's no mouse race in the game, his appearance in-game is that of a human wearing a mouse costume.
